Cooking System
Cooking is a significant aspect of The Sims 3, influencing Sim moods and utilizing harvested or purchased ingredients. Unlike previous games, recipes are learned through skill progression and by purchasing one-use cookbooks from the bookstore.
The quality of cooked food is influenced by the freshness of ingredients, the Sim's cooking skill, and the quality of kitchen appliances (e.g., food processor vs. cutting, high-quality grill vs. cheap stove).
Meal Times
- Breakfast: 3 AM - 10 AM
- Lunch: 10 AM - 5 PM
- Dinner: 5 PM - 3 AM
- Brunch (Weekends): 9 AM - 3 PM
